When the Motley Crue biography The Dirt: Confessions of The World's Most Notorious Rock Band was released in 2001, it was widely thought to be unfilmable.  According to Rolling Stone, the book "contains some of the grittiest, raunchiest, supposedly true stories recorded, with scenes depicting the abuse of drugs, alcohol and groupies as the “Shout at the Devil” rockers somehow survived the Eighties and a low commercial period in the Nineties." Who could capture all of that de …

The band's members were, subsequently and individually, interviewed asking if this was really …

KISS' bass player, Gene Simmons, recently claimed, in an interview, that Rock is dead. In his defense, Gene was pointing more of the finger at file sharing and the current state of the music business rather than a lack of musical talent. He said, "It's very sad for new bands.
